Here's another 'rebel spy' report from day 1 of Comic-Con, regarding Hasbro's Death Star set.
"It's not really a raffle. They’re having us line up at 8:30 in the morning to get a ticket. They give out thousands, so near unlimited as long as you get to the upstairs Sails Pavillion at table 7.
The ticket has a time stamp for 10, 12, 2 etc. You come back to the Hasbro booth at that time or later. They're telling us the tickets are good for the whole convention. Due to the fact that almost all the Hasbro exclusives are HUGE this year, they just can't process the orders as fast as with smaller items. They did the same thing last year.
I waited a total of 5 hours to get my limits on everything and all the items were still heavily stocked as of 5:00 PM. So far all the exclusives are well stocked.
The Revenge set is limited to one per customer as well as the Starscream TF/GI Joe Set, 3 per for the regular Zarana, 1 per for the Variant, 2 per for the Sentinel. And last but not least 2 per for the Indy set. The Hasbro Team keeps telling us they have plenty of stock.
Additionally the Revenge set comes two per packing case. So if you have a buddy with you, you can get the set in its shipping box. Last thing. It's huge. Pictures don't do it justice."
